EcoCatalytic awarded ARPA-E contract for developing ethylene process

January 29, 2018. EcoCatalytic Technologies was awarded a $2 million contract from the Advanced Manufacturing Office of the Department of Energy for the development of EcoCatalytic’s “flameless combustion” process for the conversion of ethane to ethylene. This project will also be supported by $2 million of non-government matching funds. It allows EcoCatalytic to scale up its recently patented advances in selective hydrogen combustion oxygen transfer agents.
